My experiences at Indiana been similar or different to the experiences Dr. Julia has.

August 1983, there was tension in the city, Juba. The Sudan people Libration Army/ movement had attacked and killed meny people in Joku, one of the small towns at the Ethiopian border in the Upper Nile Region. Civil war was breaking out. By 1983 Dr. Julia's world had become crashing down. From creation of the Southern regional government in 1972 until her husband lost his position in 1982, Wal served as a government ministry. In that tension situation many people were telling Wal to leave Juba Dr. Julia was the first to tell him that. So, Dr. Julia was forts to leave the country, Juba. she was leaving juba to America under tension, civil war was broke out.
Dr. Julia was suffer a lot to entered America also not easy for her to enroll in the School of Education at Indiana University. Here I am differ from her because, for me it is a golden chance ,I never had a dream like that but, God is great, I thank God for this golden chance. Every things were been prepared for right from Juba up to Indiana, Bloomington, my apartment, bedroom, classroom all my studies facilities.
It is South Sudan Higher Education Initiative for Equity and leadership Development "SSHIELD"is a Project in South Sudan funded by USAID through the Education for Development "HED."It was easy for me to entered America.
My experience at Indiana been similar with Dr. Julia was that, all of us have come to America, and attending classes in Indiana Universiy in  Bloomington. Bloomington is a very nice, quite place all over   were green and clean people were good and their system every where in place. Teachers are knowledgeable, competent, and punctual, I like that system, I will carried it back home. Dr. Julia and I studying  Master's degree at Indiana University.
Also we were different to experience because Julia came with her families., and willing to go back, it is a long journey for her. For me I came as individual for one year course, and I will be back home after one year, or finishing my studies in America.

Indiana, Bloomington is a very good and nice place I never ever visited but, my fear now is a snow. I reached Bloomington at evening Agu. 15.2014. I found my self among beautiful and handsome faces, coming to welcoming me, it is a worm welcome I will never forget it in m life. They direct me to the apartment and show me my bad room, every thing were there tide and clean I enjoyed it really. Seven days I and colleague of mine have been introduced to many places in Bloomington and we were very happy about that. So, I need time to say more about Bloomington.

Thanks,
